[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is being recruited by JHU.  Was told by the coach that they want to see 1500/34 and top 10% of HS class.[/quote]

JHU = D3
Not the same answer for D1 schools. [/quote]

We were told the same for the Ivies (D1 schools).[/quote]

So if I am understanding correctly, despite the test-optional policy, we should expect that the Ivy League schools reaching out to our student-athlete ("top" sport like football/basketball/lacrosse) will request ACT/SAT scores?  Also, when should we expect Ivy League recruiting to end practically speaking?  End of junior year?  End of first semester senior year?

Thank you![/quote]

I love how uiy lumped lacrosse as a top sport  :lol: [/quote]

It [i]is [/i]a pretty high profile sport at the Ivies (probably #4 after football, basketball, and hockey) -- it's definitely higher profile than sports like soccer and baseball, and is generally at the top of the food chain socially.  Every Ivy League team except Dartmouth made the playoffs this past year, which is pretty damn good when only 16 teams total make the D1 tournament (and even Dartmouth had a pretty good year all things considered).

[quote=Anonymous]Hopkins is much more lax with their D1 lax admissions standard than their standards for D3 sports.

The bigger the stage in the sport, the more relaxed the standard tends to be. On the high academic side, that translates to power 5 schools like Stanford, Northwestern, Vandy, and Duke having more admissions flexibility than the athletically less competitive Ivy League schools, which have more flexibility than the D3 schools like MIT, Chicago, Wash U, Swarthmore, Amherst, Williams, most of Hopkins, ect.

Yep, this is all true.[/quote]
